Each day Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. When appropriate we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

PolitiFact rating: Mostly False (After an initial decline in 2017 and 2018, violent crime in West Virginia rose again in 2019 and 2020 and is now back around its level prior to the law being passed.) Did violent crime in W.Va. fall after permitless carry was enacted? |
